Damn fine post, if I do say so my damn self. I like it when somebody knows what is up and knows exactly what their question is.
You've got a lot of ground laid here already, so it will take some time to traverse it all.
First off, one must understand that the entire alpha/ Beta thing is merely an arbitrary handle we put on each other to describe countless abstracts of personality, charisma, vitality, drive, and both the inner and outer lights on one's character.
While yes, pheromones will give you the initial impression and appearance of being an alpha sort, they won't make you one. As you've noted with your pickup techniques, those impressions tend to not last because ultimately you cannot pretend to be something or someone you aren't.
There are 2 steps to becoming 'more alpha'. figure out what sort of man you want to be; then become that man. Pheromones will help you in your first steps, and afterwards for the purposes of initial projection, but they will not make you.
Being strange and different are actually huge helps to you. To be perfectly honest, NOBODY wants somebody that is generic and just like everyone else. Own and love your quirks; they are what set you apart. the main issue most have with folks that are different or strange is that are otherwise ALSO socially awkward or creepy, or apologetic and ashamed of their traits or hobbies.
Now, depending on how you personally define being an Alpha, that is not necessarily the only way to approach women. The catch-22 on this is that what women REALLY find attractive is sincerity, personal drive and passion, not being apologetic for who and what they are, and being bold enough to take their shot but yet decent and caring overall. On top of that is the extreme need for most women to have some sort of an emotional connection in order to soak their panties, and most guys that only study empty technique or that are timid and shy or socially inept just cannot foster those feelings and connections. As most guys associate such positive traits with being Alpha, it becomes muddied.
You don't need to consider yourself an Alpha male to have internal drive and passion, be unapologetic for who and what you are, and to always be seeking to be your best self without concern for what others think (so long as it is en vogue with your ethics and morals); you just need to be that way. Honestly, real men don't ponder if they are a real man or not, just as Thor doesn't sit in Valhalla and ponder whether or not he's truly divine; they just live their life on their own terms.
You don't need to pretend to be the bold, cocky, pickup guy; you just need to boldly be yourself and have fun (as well as humor)
Being cultured and intellectual can be a huge turn-on. However, it cannot be your only traits; then you're just a 2-trick pony. while everyone loves to be around a smart and refined individual; for romance EVERYONE wants adventure and excitement. Knowing which fork to use and being educated is fine and dandy, and quite helpful; but women need to experience and feel as well.
Along with those two amazing foundational stepping stones, you should (I suggest) also foster some facets that appeal to others' passions and desire for variety and excitement.
Being half-Asian is a HUGE asset. You will more than likely have that youthful glow about you for a long, long time. don't worry about your heritage, or what you feel women might be into. Just develop your own individual style that reflects your inner essence. Everyone wants VIP rockstar tier people because they have their own unique style, are exciting and passionate, and definitely have innner drive (see my above paragraphs)
don;t worry about what you can pass yourself off, just concentrate on passing yourself off as the best you, ever, and cool things will happen.
OK...now onto your main questions

No, the ways to approach a lady are infinite and unique for each woman; there is never a single catch-all. There are no alpha's, only Zuul. How you approach a woman and what you do should ultimately depend upon the situation, how you read the lady, context, setting, and a host of other things. that's why I tend to go with style over technique. Style is a general attitude, technique is immutable.
Every lady and situation is different. think of it like sparring, or dancing, or like talking with one of your friends....all the same elements are there and in use; but it is different each and every time.

Not necessarily. While self-effects can be great to help us walk the walk; pheromones affect how others perceive us initially. It might not affect you, but hit somebody else really hard. All I can say is try it and find out.
Self-effects are a great boost most of the time; but they are not the know-all, end-all of pheromones.

The jury is out on this one. I am of the opinion that you don't necessarily need to do that; but I wear pheromones daily, 5-6 days per week. However, once somebody has decided (within their own psyches) how you make them feel; they'll be prone to respond to you in that frame of reference regardless.
However, if you cease acting in a particular fashion, or begin to expose them to a different aura from other pheromones, their idea of you will morph over time and/ or prolonged exposure.

Either one is the dance of death. Women get turned on by you appealing to them on their level, communicating to them in their own fashion, and making them feel what what they want and need in order to invite you to seduce them. To much or too little of anything kills.

No, not at all. I have about 1500 garbage posts on here; so no worries. A point of view, provided it is sincere subjectively cannot truly be wrong; misguided, based upon false dichotomies, out of sync with true paradigms, perhaps, but not wrong. You had honest questions and here at least you'll get a plethora of answers from every point of view, none of which are wrong; just different.
and finally, please keep in mind that like always attracts like. If you are clingy and needy, you'll attract the same. If you go for the abrasive asshole domineering mien, then you'll attract confrontational ladies. If you are always your best true self, and put forth all your effort into making yourself and your life better; you'll attract the best in both life and ladies.
